Combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and garlic in a medium bowl. Add the beef and stir to coat. Season with pepper. Cover and set aside for 1 hour to marinate.

Step 2

Heat a wok over high heat. Add half the oil and heat until smoking. Cook half the beef, shaking the wok, for 1-2 minutes until the beef is charred but still rare in the centre, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining oil and beef, reheating the wok between batches. Top with watercress, tomato and onion.

I cooked this on my BBQ and served with flat bread. It is super quick and easy and tasted amazing, every one in the family loved it.

Very easy - however, quite bland.

Simple, easy and very tasty. Suggest that portion size recommended may be on the small side.

Not only is this so easy to make it also tastes great. Unfortunately because it tastes so good I wouldn't call the recommended serving sizes adequate, you're bound to eat a lot more!

Bland, Blandy-McBland from Bland Town. Had such high hopes for a taste sensation, but it hardly even tasted Asian - tried to fix it, but no good. Felt like ingredients were missing from recipe. Edible...just.

One of my family's favourite meals, we make it regularly. The marinade tastes great with chicken too. Super quick and easy and so delicious.

This is super easy and fast. I have made it several times now and each time my family (incl 2 fussy kids) loved it. I do however use corriander leaves instead of watercress and serve it on a bed of rice.
